Terra Ferra

To be clear I have played this scenario before under these rules. That time it was an ACW setting. As however these are my 'go to' rules at the moment I thought I would start with them as a type of basis.

Tin Soldier in Action does have some issues, mainly I think down to the translation from German to English. So I have developed a number of house rules to resolve these issues. For this experiment however I revered to the original version. I stopped playing on turn 7 once the issue of the farm was resolved with the two French flanks collapsing leaving the farm isolated and at the mercy of to almost fresh battalions.

As expected (there are after all my rules of choice) the activation system is very easy for the solo player. Each 'command' is allocated a card say 4 of Clubs. then whenever the 4 of clubs is drawn that group of units are activated in turn.

The main issues in TSiA is how terrain is handled. Woods for example disorder formed infantry halving their combat die and provide no benefit from being shot at. Buildings do at least provide some protection. The second weird thing s the sighting rules concerning hills The Chasseurs a Pied did not slow down a Prussian attack on the Prussian left but the Jager did a sterling job on the right
